Utterly agree with all the above. Can't believe our board thanked him and FGR for way it was handled! They had obviously been whispering in his ear and he had been making arrangements behind our backs during that crucial run in period. I hope both parties get what they deserve.

What do you expect him to do? They obviously approached the club who must have agreed to let them talk to him. The club seem happy the way it was handled.
If he had walked out near the end of the season then that would have given us something to moan about. It wasn't his fault another club wanted him.

Fair comment.
It could hardly have worked out any worse for us though if he had cleared off earlier and a caretaker or player/caretaker had taken charge.

Hindsight is wonderful, if the caretaker lost all his matches in charge and we didn't make the play offs he would have been as popular as big Sam.

I think those of us bringing this up know that already.
We're cursing our luck and the situation in general, that this massive distraction came along at the most crucial time of the season.

So IB jumps ships just 80 hours after the final whistle. He chooses himself over the club, all the players, the fans, the board that backed him...and the goal we were shooting for all season had as its backdrop, the departure of the leaders of the team.
Don't blame him, but what's that taste in my mouth? Nothing good.
Will we be following FGR wanting him to succeed? Can't speak for others, but I won't.

He was offered a job in the football league two divisions higher than us and probably on better wages.
No brainer. Mind you I am not bothered either way if he stayed or left.
